About The Challenge

South Florida is home to the 5th most congested roadways in the nation. This should come as no surprise to local commuters, who spend an average of one hour and 48 minutes to travel routes that should only take 30 minutes.

While the cost of traffic congestion can take a big bite out of commuters' time and budget, there are more options than ever before to ease the burden of commuting through alternative modes of transportation.

In recognition of Earth Month and to educate and encourage commuters throughout the region to try modes of transportation other than driving alone, the Florida Department of Transportation and its transportation partners are hosting the South Florida Commuter Challenge during the month of April.

Joining the Challenge is easy! Simply take the pledge to share how you will take alternative modes during the Challenge.

Explore your options and join the Challenge today! Every mile saved is a mile closer to a better South Florida!

Challenge begins April 2nd, 2018
